Whimsy Stamp's New Release!

Hello friends! Happy Labor Day weekend to you!

I can not believe it is September already....time sure does fly!

Whimsy Stamp's has released some awesome Halloween stamps and dies this month.  I used several new products on this vintage, shabby, Halloween card. I used the stamp set, Exquisite Beauty for the butterfly wings.  It is a rubber stamp and it stamps so crisp and clear! For the body I used the Forever Cameos die.   The frame is from the Forever Cameos Frames die.   I grunged it up a bit with Grit paste and Crackle paste.  I used a Tim Holtz Distress Crayon in black and brown to get the cracks and such.  The background of the card is old book paper.  I used the Brick Pattern Stencil over it using Crackle Paste.  Once it was dry I swiped black and brown Distress Crayon over. it.  

I added lace, a bit of mummy wrap around the frame, a small posy, and vintage stick pins for the antennae.  This was such a fun card to make. :)

Have a great weekend!

 

Trick or Treat!

Hello!

A quick post today using Whimsy Stamp's new Batty Die Set.  I cut the bats out of paper I had previously water colored.  I added vintage buttons to the bats' bodies.  I added cob webs from the Nested Webs Die set. These were cut out of black paper and I added Grit paste to each and gave it a swipe of gold using a Distress Crayon.  The background was water colored using purple and black paints.  Grit paste and crackle paste were swiped around the edges.  I took a brown Distress Crayon to define the cracks a bit.  

The sentiment is part of the Cat-O-Lanterns set.  A bit of mummy cloth was tied at the top for a final touch. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by! :)

 

Too Cute to Spook!

Hello Friends!

Happy Friday to you!

I (almost) made it through my first full week of school....and can I just say that this gal is tired?  I am not used to standing all day long! But other than my old achy body, it was a great week, and it felt good to be back in my classroom!

Are you loving this Halloween release as much I am?  This set by Whimsy Stamps,  Cat-O-Lanterns is one of my favs! I colored this cuties with Copics and fussy cut them.  I used the new Bookeh papers and will definitely be using these a lot! 

I added a few clear bubbles, a bit of twine, and a couple of posies to finish off my card. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Be sure to check out Whimsy Stamp's latest release!

 

Whimsy Stamp's New Release Cat-O-Lanterns

Happy Sunday!

It is a great day because it is Whimsy Stamp's new release day!

This new set, Cat-O-Lanterns is adorable! I colored this lil' critter with Copics and added some depth with a black colored pencil.  I double matted the card using the new Pink Plaid papers. 

I added a flower, leaves, black string, and a tag.  The flowers and leaves are part of the Hibiscus Flower Die set.   A few sequins were adhered and the card was complete. 

Be sure to visit Whimsy Stamps to see the full release!  Lot's of Halloween goodies! Have a GREAT Day!

 

The Sweetest Hedgehog

Good morning!

How about a little change from skulls? ;)

How about a cute, furry, hedgehog instead? This little guy is part of the Whimsy Stamp's Fall Hedgehogs stamp set.   I colored him in with Copics and added a bit of depth with a black colored pencil.  I added some liquid applique to his cup of coffee (cocoa?).  Love how dimensional it looks! 

I did a bit of sewing and added flowers and leaves.  The leaves are part of the stamp set, but the flowers are from the Hibiscus Flower Die Set.  The sentiment was stamped directly on the apple with Versamark ink and embossed in white.  Isn't this pink plaid paper the cutest?   

Thank you so much for stopping by today! :)

 

ARRGH!

Hello!

I couldn't resist making another pirate card using Whimsy Stamp's Treasure Map Die set.   I used the same technique on this skull as my last post.  I took Crackle Paste on cream card stock. Once it was dry, I used Tim Holtz Distress Crayons in black and brown to define the cracks. The map portion was stamped with Treasure Map stamp set.  I inked up the edges to distress it a bit.  I adhered the map and skull to black card stock and give it a splattering of white paint. 

As a final touch, I die cut the sentiment with the new Arrgh Word and Shadow Die set. The black card stock I used had a white core, so I sanded it a bit to distress it.

Have a great week!

 

Ahoy Matey!

Well hello again!

Today is the 10th and that means it is Whimsy Stamp's new release! So many fun pirate themed products! I used the new Treasure Map die set.  I die cut the images twice. Once on old book paper and again on white card stock.  For the skull I swiped crackle paste over it and set it aside to dry.  The book paper was adhered to the white card stock and I inked up the edges in brown ink.  I added Tim Holtz Grit paste and Crackle paste to the edges.  Once it was dry I rubbed black Distress Crayon over the edges.  It almost looks like the paper was burned.  I did the same with the skull.  I rubbed it into the cracks and wiped off the extra.  I adhered everything to a black A2 card and added red gems to the eyes and bit of twine.  The small xxx at the bottom if from the Arrgh Accessories Die Set. 

Be sure to pop by Whimsy Stamps to see the full release! It is so much fun!
